1. Sauté Garlic:
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the minced fresh garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Be careful not to let it brown or burn, as burnt garlic tastes bitter. Remove skillet from heat briefly if needed.
2. Heat Chicken & Seasonings:
- Add the cooked shredded or diced chicken to the skillet with the garlic butter.
- Sprinkle with the garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir well and heat through for about 1-2 minutes, coating the chicken in the flavors. Remove chicken mixture from skillet and set aside briefly (can place in the filling bowl).
3. Make Cheese Filling Base:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and sour cream. Stir or beat until smooth.
- Stir in about 1 cup of the shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese (reserving the remaining 1/2 cup for inside the wraps).
4. Combine Filling:
- Add the warm garlic-seasoned chicken mixture to the cheese mixture in the bowl.
- Stir everything together until the chicken is evenly coated and combined with the creamy cheese filling.
5. Assemble the Wraps:
- Lay one large tortilla flat on a clean surface.
- Spoon about one-quarter of the chicken and cheese mixture onto the center of the tortilla, spreading it slightly but leaving a border around the edges.
- Sprinkle about 2 tablespoons (or 1/8 cup) of the reserved shredded mozzarella/cheddar cheese over the filling on the tortilla.
- Fold the wrap burrito-style: Fold in the opposite sides (left and right) snugly over the filling. Then, tightly roll the tortilla up from the bottom edge towards the top edge to form a secure wrap. Place seam-side down.
- Repeat for the remaining tortillas and filling.
6. Cook the Wraps:
- Wipe out the skillet used earlier if needed, or use a clean skillet or grill pan. Place it over medium heat (add a tiny bit of oil or butter if desired, but often not necessary if wraps are sealed well).
- Carefully place 1 or 2 wraps (depending on pan size), seam-side down, into the warm skillet.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until the tortilla is golden brown, slightly crispy, and the cheese inside is melted and gooey. Flip carefully with a spatula. Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning.
- Repeat with remaining wraps.
7. Garnish and Serve:
- Remove the cooked wraps from the skillet.
- Garnish generously with fresh chopped parsley.
- Serve the Cheesy Garlic Chicken Wraps immediately while hot and crispy.
